Gas boiler servicing provides a safe living environment for the whole family.
Gas Boilers plays an important part in the comfort of our homes. Since gas boilers are mostly hidden, gas boiler servicing is often thought of as an additional unnecessary cost for many consumers. While there are different kinds of gas boiler that we can choose to install inside our homes, one thing is essential to all of them and that is the need for a regular boiler servicing in order to maintain a high-level of safety and efficiency appliances.
Have the following checked during gas boiler servicing.
A gas boiler, as with most appliances, deteriorates as time passes with prolonged use. A yearly boiler servicing which includes a boiler safety inspection is necessary to find out whether our boiler is functioning exactly to the specifications designed by its manufacturer. This will help extend the life of the boiler as well as well as lessen the chances of malfunctioning and costly repairs in the future. Remember to have this safety inspection handled by a qualified service technician or safety engineer to ensure that the process is done professionally.
When undergoing a boiler servicing, make sure that all the sooting produced during the combustion process are removed. A flue test will reveal if there any unsafe gases being emitted by your boiler. This will prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide to excessive and dangerous levels that may result to health problems. Installing carbon monoxide detectors greatly helps in this area.
You should also have a gas pressure check to ensure that the proper air-to-fuel combustion ratio is set according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This may gradually change as the components of the boiler degrade due to component wear.
In this day of high energy cost, gas boiler servicing is an important procedure to keep our house free from unseen dangers and high heating bills.
